Match Thread Everton v Arsenal - Barely a preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[Paul Rideout]

This is not fun to watch. but it is 0-0 at half time.

Reffing has been not as biased as it might have been, still atrocious like.

I'd expect us to at least play better in the second half.

 

[bobbylatch]

Really making problems for ourselves here with our continued inability to keep possession. How many misplaced passes? Might as well stick DLC and go route one. Sure as hell can't pass it through midfield.

 

[blue to the bone]

It hasn't been great to watch.
But bar an offside goal they haven't created one clear chance.
We need to be better on the ball but it's better then most would have predicted score wise.

 

[kenada_blue]

Away from all the cry arsing... we've set up well, look solid, giving arsenal very little.

On the ball we've been awful. Onana, McNeil, Doucoure have been shocking with the ball.

It's telling the best passers of the ball are the centre backs

 

[HuddersfieldToffee]

Doucoure for Garner at HT for me.

Or Joao Virginia, or literally anyone. Pick someone from the crowd, give the mascot a go.

 

[sdk]

Scoreless at the half. An accomplishment in itself.

Orange slices for everyone!

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Doucoure for Garner at HT for me.

Garner on for Doucoure Onana Danjuma for me.

 

[brooks]

Is McNeil completely gassed?

 

[ah11984]

The lack of technical ability in this team is frightening.

McNeil looks understandably a million miles off it, but we haven’t got a worthy replacement on the bench.

Book him for simulation

To be fair, there is a school of thought that life itself is a simulation, so it would be ironic for the simulated ref to book a fellow simulated person for simulation.

 

[NorthernBlue]

Yes and no. This is one of the two excellent sides in the league. They've barely had a sniff either.

We haven’t attempted to do anything. When we have had the ball we have been as bad as ever. I can’t abide it. But this is what you get when give Dyche the job.

 

[DownunderToffee]

We are so incredibly bad.

 

[maccavennie]

Doucoure makes me ill

Him, Gueye and Onana have been absolutely grim. Got nothing about them at all as a midfield unit this 1st half.

 

[Neiler]

Blow it up ref.

 

[Encoder]

That was certainly a half of football.
